Rakkasan Posted April 22, 2006 Report Share Posted April 22, 2006 (edited) The recent post concerning "The other thing to remember and this is very important, never, NEVER, NEVER, NEVER stick your chopsticks into your rice bowl and leave them standing. DON'T DO IT. (ask your SO some time) This got me to thinking (dangerous huh?). When I was in China we were supposed to travel to Fusui on Friday to visit SO's dad and sister and enjoy a street celebration of a National Holiday. Because of the last minute schedule changes we would not be able leave for Fusui until Friday morning. SO's mom forbid us from going...it seems it is bad luck to travel on a National Holiday. This may just be the result of more people traveling = more traffic accidents, just like in the U.S. Needless to say we had to make other plans for the day and SO's mom was able to rest easy. Does anyone else have any tales of superstition they would like to share to keep the rest of us from screwing up? Edited April 22, 2006 by Rakkasan (see edit history) Link to comment

mercator Posted April 22, 2006 Report Share Posted April 22, 2006 My wife scheduled my trip to China around the calendar. Don't show the bottom of your feet. Don't keep your mattress if your ex-SO slept on it, and especially if you got busy on it with someone else. Don't talk about death or dying. Don't give anyone a clock as a gift. REALLY don't give anyone hell notes (dead people money from the recently passed holiday) as a gift. Link to comment
Rakkasan Posted April 22, 2006 Author Report Share Posted April 22, 2006 Another one I just thought of..... man do not buy women shoes (this is not meant in terms of for man to wear either). Apparently this is a Chinese way for a man to tell a woman to take a hike. SO will let me buy her clothes, but never shoes. Of course she may just think my taste in shoes sucks and made this up to keep from wearing ugly shoes. lol Link to comment
C4Racer Posted April 22, 2006 Report Share Posted April 22, 2006 Do not give a clock as a gift, this is bad luck, especially to your SO's parents. This is suppose to represent limited time left in life. Link to comment

Number 4 is bad. Don't buy a house with 4s in it like I did, double death. The japanese make golf balls 1, 2, 3, 5... And many buildings skip the 4th floor. I also try to travel and then get married on a good date. But is it all crap? Link to comment
